I love the sharpness and low light capability of prime lenses. The flexibility of zoom lenses is extremely helpful for run and gun situations. There’s been a few times where I just shot with one prime lens. But that’s usually based on the budget, traveling needs and lightings situation. I like it because all I have to do is focus on framing and the story. Congratulations! Georgia is a beautiful place

Thanks Shaun! We’ve been loving Georgia so far 🙏🏼 And I agree - zooms definitely help when you’re run & gun, especially as a solo creator, and you don’t wanna miss the action. But there’s just something about the look of the primes for me that I really enjoy. I really want to start investing in some cine glass next!

That’s funny! I’m actually selling a few IRIX Cine primes. What made you decide to switch to Cine Lens?

@@shaunmaddox I’ve honestly never used them before, but seeing the look that other people get from them, I’m curious enough to try them for myself

If you focus mostly in manual, they are a luxury. Honestly, they’re just glass. The IRIX Cine Lens are really good, I just wish I didn’t buy so many. Each lens is 3 pounds, plus carrying multiple focal lengths over time can be tiresome.

If I have my choice, I love running my Milvus/Otus primes. They are so beautiful and I actually prefer manual focus for 90% of my work. That being said. My 24-105 (now 24-70) and 70-200 do see a lot of work for stuff that I really dont know what Im getting myself into or if the client ask. That happens a good bit where zooms are requested. Love the bumblebees. Something I did recently that has help a lot has been putting some black moleskin from URSA on non-stick side. It just cuts down on rustle just a bit. I can shoot you a picture. GO DAWGS!

I really want to get some cinema primes! These photo lenses aren’t cutting it for me 😅 I’m too reliant on autofocus. Plus I like the image quality I’m seeing from other folks’ cinema lenses. That’s a great point about using a zoom if you don’t know what you’re getting into - I definitely agree with that! And I’ll definitely need to try the moleskin addition in the future. I’ve definitely still had some rustling, so that will probably help! And yes, GO DAWGS! Hoping to get to a game soon 🙏🏼

Hey Andrew: Thanks for this helpful video. I am a Panasonic shooter myself (S1 and Original S5. Haven't got the S5 MK II yet, but I have come close many times.). Gotta ask a business question(and I apologize if I have already asked this before). Do you ever feel you miss out on getting jobs because you are shooting with Panasonic instead of Sony? (Or Canon or RED?) It's just that it seems like so many freelancers are using an FX6, or for real lower-budget shoots, a7 IVs. Maybe it doesn't matter, but would love to hear your thoughts. Oh, one more question if I may: How do you deal with the moire? If the autofocus on the S1H were even halfway-decent, I would definitely get one instead an S5 IIX. But I am feeling more and more like I NEED focus as I get older. (Plus my second-shooter-in-training is my teenage son, and not sure how willing he is to learn manual focusing.)

I’m always happy to answer this question! I have never had an issue landing a job solely based on the fact that I shoot Panasonic. If I have lost work because of it, then I likely wasn’t approached in the first place. I see other freelancers using the FX6 or different RED or ARRI cameras and feel like I should also make the investment. But I honestly feel like I know what I’m doing well enough to get great results with the Lumix cameras, and they are much more budget friendly for me at this stage of my life/career. As far as technical issues with moire, I haven’t really noticed any! I’ve had a few issues where the PDAF on the S5II wasn’t as good as I thought it would be, but I chalk that up completely to user error 😅 so now I always double check my focus settings before pressing record. Hope any of this was helpful! Thanks for watching 🙏🏼

Thanks so much! The plan is to continue to make content whenever possible, but probably won’t be freelancing as much!
